The other issue is availability: At this time I am not aware of any supplier
which carries step pulleys in Canada, let alone locally. An EBay search
threw up precisely 5 entries and not all of these were pulleys and some of
the pulleys were highly dubious.

Hey Michael,

I haven't watched this thread at all, but I did read the above.

White metal step pulleys are available lots of places. Canadian Tire,
TSC, any good motor or bearing place. The ones at CTC may well be
only 3 or 4 step, but they are there.

Heavier ones, such as Brownings, are available at any good farm or
automotive place too.

Take care.
